I haven't actually used one of the pencils down to the end yet. But I remember attempting to sharpen one out of idleness and it sharpened... But don't do it unless the top piece is completely finished! Cause it gets messy otherwise lol

Hi Marsha! I have a small pencil sharpener and a large one. I got the large sharpener out of my local beauty supply store, it works just fine. I did wait until the wax was barely there.

No they can't be sharpened. Even if they could be it might not be worth it to sharpen them. Might be the same amount of money to just buy new ones.

They do not. I also purchased the sharpener and it works great, pretty inexpensive. Great pencil, smooth easy to write with.

They are not refillable. These are similar to the one use Bic Pencils that you would find in a college bookstore

As a professionally trained artist, I would recommend not using a sharpener at all. I was taught to use a matte (utility) knife to shave the wood off, so as not to waste a single bit of the colored lead. The pencils will last an incredibly long time if you "sharpen" them this way, and you can still get fine lines.

Any pencils sharpener will work, the KUM long point sharpener just makes this pencils that much better for only a few bucks

We use a ceramic knife sharpener. They do get dull but carry a pretty good edge. I would recommend these to you. My wife loves them.

I haven't used it for some time if I remember correctly it is either by twisting the bottom and it sharpens it, or by removing the top and sharpening it that way. They also sell a special sharpener for this pencil

No, these are just refills, but great ones. I purchased them after I exhausted the two that come with the pencil from Radio Shack Catalog#276-039.Though it is not an exact fit (somewhat loose) just put a small piece of tissue to seat it firmly in the holder and you will be just fine.I use it for cleaning HO, N and Z scale locomotive wheels and tracks (switch frogs) and they do a great job. Great product, made in Germany, so I definitely recommend it.

Yes they can be sharpened in fact I run a few swipes on my fine steel between uses to keep a keen edge and haven't needed to really sharpen them yet.

Yes, I use them all the time. They work great. You may want to purchase a darker one also, as these three colors are a bit on the light side. Don't forget a pencil sharpener too.

I do remember the ones with the pencil sharpeners in them...these don't have it....I wondered why they stopped making them....I don't think the picture shows them with sharpeners?

None of the pencils you purchase anymore actually come with a built-in sharpener. I'm not sure why the manufacturer did away with this feature. What I would recommend is that you go down to your local drug store eg. RITE aid, or Walgreens; and find a Maybelline product similar to the Expert Eyes #151 Velvet Black pencil that actually does have a sharpener attached to it and take it home and use it exclusively for the sharpener. It's kind of a waste to buy a pencil that you're not going to be using for it's cosmetic applications, but at least you'll have a sharpener for your Maybelline #151 Velvet Black pencil.

No, you can use any sharpener you like. I use a standard electric sharpener.
